Former NBA guard O.J. Mayo will play in China when play resumes in that country following a stoppage for the coronavirus.

The Liaoning Flying Leopards of the Chinese Basketball Association announced Sunday that Mayo is in Shenyang, the team's home base, and will sign a contract after he spends time in quarantine and passes a physical.

The Chinese Basketball Association suspended play amid the outbreak in that country on Feb. 1. The league is expected to return in mid-April with all teams based in one or two cities and without fans in the stands, ESPN reported.

Mayo, 32, was drafted No. 3 overall by the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2008. He was sent to the Memphis Grizzlies in a draft-day trade that shipped Kevin Love to Minnesota.

He has been out of the NBA since the end of the 2015-16 season after being banned for violating the league's anti-drug policy.
